The family of Amy Joyner-Francis wants a second autopsy after she was killed in a restroom assault at Howard High School of Technology.
The state autopsy found that she died of a sudden cardiac death brought on by pre-existing condition as a result of the assault.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Wilmington City Council member Sherry Dorsey Walker says the family told her that the heart condition she had at birth had healed itself.
The paper reports that since the medical examiner determined the defect contributed to her death one of the three girls allegedly involved in the assault has been charged with criminally negligent homicide.
The other two are facing criminal conspiracy charges.
